Music - Put Your Mouth on Me - Eddie Murphy

In this week's episode, the gang heads down to the Big Easy and gets creeped the hell out with Nicolas Cage and Judge Reinhold in the 1991, softcore, art-noir, Zandalee!

In this week's episode, the gang knocks back a few with Tom Atkins' boozehound doctor/detective in the 1982 franchise-destroyer, Halloween III: Season of the Witch!

Money Train stars Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Lopez, and Robert Blake; directed by Joseph Ruben. Music - Love Train - The O'Jays

On this Side Order of Sleaze, the gang continues their holiday celebration by tackling the other side of the Jack Frost, cinematic, snowman legacy: 1997's Jack Frost!

Like, if it was the real world? Jack Frost stars Scott MacDonald, Christopher Allport, Stephen Mendel, and Shannon Elizabeth; directed by Michael Cooney. Music - One Thing Leads to Another - The Fixx

In this week's episode, the gang gets in the Christmas spirit with Michael Keaton and Kelly Preston in the 1998 family tragedy, Jack Frost!

In this week's episode, the gang takes a trip back to ancient Asia with John Wayne as they take a look at one of Hollywood's biggest missteps, The Conqueror!

And what (or who) actually killed John Wayne -- along with hundreds of others? The Conqueror stars John Wayne, Susan Hayward, Agnes Moorehead, and Pedro Armendariz; directed by Dick Powell. Music - John Wayne - Billy Idol

In this week's episode, the gang celebrates a year's worth of podcasting as they take a second look at the film that started it all: Wired!

In this week's episode, the gang gets uncomfortable with Drew Barrymore and Tom Skerritt as they wade through the uncomfortable, 'erotic' 'thriller', Poison Ivy!

In this week's episode, the gang returns to the forest moon of Endor one last time to hang with the magical (?) Ewoks, a super-fast rabbit thing, the annoying Cindel, and Wilford Brimley!

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor stars Wilford Brimley, Warwick Davis, Aubree Miller, and Carel Struycken; directed by Jim and Ken Wheat. Music - Magic Dance - David Bowie

In this week's episode, the gang finally gets to a sub-genre of film they've been meaning to touch on for quite some time - White Guy Karate! - and they bring it up via the 1986, Jean-Claude Van Damme snoozefest, No Retreat, No Surrender! Was Van Damme's story a bit beefier before the editing room? Who punishes their kid by taking away exercise? And just how obsessed can a boy get with a martial arts legend before it gets weird? No Retreat, No Surrender stars Kurt McKinney, J.W. Fails, Kent Lipham, and Tai Chung Kim; directed by Corey Yuen.  Music - Surrender - Cheap Trick

In this week's episode, the gang plays judge, jury, and executioner as they tag along with Sly Stallone and, ugh, Rob Schneider in the 1995, sci-fi stinker, Judge Dredd! Who's more over the top - Stallone or Assante? Why were we given so little James Remar? And just how big is too big when we're talking codpiece sizes? Judge Dredd stars Sylvester Stallone, Armand Assante, Rob Schneider, Diane Lane, and Max von Sydow; directed by Danny Cannon. Music - Police on my Back - as performed by The Clash
